Topological complexity of symplectic 4-manifolds and Stein fillings
R. Inanc Baykur, Jeremy Van Horn-Morris
We prove that there exists no a priori bound on the Euler characteristic of a closed symplectic 4-manifold coming solely from the genus of a compatible Lefschetz pencil on it, nor…

Families of contact 3-manifolds with arbitrarily large Stein fillings
R. Inanc Baykur, Jeremy Van Horn-Morris
We show that there are vast families of contact 3-manifolds each member of which admits infinitely many Stein fillings with arbitrarily big euler characteristics and arbitrarily sm…
